10. The Pendulum (3:42)
The sands of time, they slip away
Through our fingers day by day
Countless grains, a steady stream
Lost forever like a fleeting dream
Each grain a moment, a memory gone
A story told, a love once shone
A laughter shared, a tear shed
All swept away as time marches ahead
Always chasing something more
Lifeline treading a fine line
The future's knocking at the door
Sands of time
So merciless
What are you waiting for?
The pendulum swings back and forth
The sands of time, they never cease
A never-ending cycle of release
Of what was once and what will be
A reminder of our own mortality
Always chasing something more
Lifeline treading a fine line
The future's knocking at the door
Sands of time
So merciless
What are you waiting for?
The pendulum swings back and forth
Sands of time
So merciless
What are you waiting for?
The pendulum swings back and forth
The pendulum swings back and forth
Through our fingers day by day
Countless grains, a steady stream
Lost forever like a fleeting dream
Each grain a moment, a memory gone
A story told, a love once shone
A laughter shared, a tear shed
All swept away as time marches ahead
Always chasing something more
Lifeline treading a fine line
The future's knocking at the door
Sands of time
So merciless
What are you waiting for?
The pendulum swings back and forth
The sands of time, they never cease
A never-ending cycle of release
Of what was once and what will be
A reminder of our own mortality
Always chasing something more
Lifeline treading a fine line
The future's knocking at the door
Sands of time
So merciless
What are you waiting for?
The pendulum swings back and forth
Sands of time
So merciless
What are you waiting for?
The pendulum swings back and forth
The pendulum swings back and forth
